Unless you plan to watch pre-recorded hi def only. The inputs for hi def are firewire, which is extensively copy protected, and not compatible with many cable boxes. They don't seem to have component input with an analog to digital hi def converter. Check to see if it has an internal hi def tuner that it can record with. Even so, you may be limited in hi def recording options.
This may be why these hi tech pieces are going for cheap, they are primarily for playback of prerecorded materials.
It may be a long run for a short slide, but not costly, the machines are in fact on sale for about $200 in some instances and are probably superior as VCR's if nothing else.

Actually, I intend to use the JVC for playback. Anything else that it can be used for is "gravy" as far as I am concerned...Thanks for the information.
